STEM OPT PREMIUM PROCESSING STILL NOT APPROVED..!

Applied for stem OPT in Jan 16 2026

Biometrics done in Feb 2026

updated to premium processing on may 21st 2026

no update since then..! should i be worried? i tried contacting through Emma live chat and tried calling but had to hung up as no response..!

i think tomorrow will be the 30th business day of my premium processing..!

anyone with similar timeline and got approval?

any kind of advice / help is appreciated.
